![]() It is an even more advanced version of the USB 2.0 cables. Thunderbolt is used to connect a computer to a monitor. Type C cables are often used to connect tablets or laptops to a computer or charger. ![]() When the cable is plugged in the right way, a green light will light up to show that it is securely connected. Type C cables are designed to be reversible. Type C is a USB cable with a rectangular connector on end. These cables are often used to connect a cell phone or other small electronics to a computer or charger. Micro USB is a smaller version of the Mini USB cables. Mini USB cables are often used to connect small electronics, such as cell phones and digital cameras, to a computer. Mini USB is a smaller version of the USB 2.0 cables. These cables are often used to connect a printer to a computer. It is sometimes referred to as USB Type B. USB 2.0 is a faster version of the USB 1:1.1 and 1:1.2 cables. They are used to connect a USB device, such as a printer or mouse, to the computer. These cables are the rectangular cables that go into the computer's USB ports. USB 1:1.1 and 1:1.2 are the original USB cables. In this article, all the different types of USB cables will be explained in detail. ![]() There are many types of USB cables, and you may find yourself wondering where each one can be used. Sometimes it is confusing to decide which USB cable to use. It is important to closely inspect the host and the device connections to ensure the ports for each termination are properly selected, then choose the USB cable specification to meet the performance standard for your application.Understanding the different types of USB cables and what they are used for can be very useful when trying to set up a computer, charger, or other electronic devices. How to determine the right USB cable standard Backward compatible with older versions.Withstands 10,000 insertion/removal cycles.May be a provider or consumer of power with up to 100W of power delivery.Capable of supporting data rates up to 40 Gbps – four lanes with 10 Gbps per lane.Reversible port with symmetrical 24 pins, will attach to the receptacle on the first try.Reversible plug orientation ("up" or "down").Can be attached to either port with the functionality defined by the port hardware itself.Support for alternate modes to allow for more than just USB data to be sent across the connector and cable assembly.Supports both host and device, and there is no need of different connectors in both sides of this oblong shaped port.Rectangular shaped with four pins in a straight line.Commonly used in host side such as a PC, keyboard, server, hub as well as cables and small peripherals.What are the USB connector types? USB Type-A The USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard is backward compatible with 3.1 Gen 1 (or 3.0) and USB 2.0. Unlike USB 2.0, 3.1 Gen 2 is full duplex. USB 3.1 (SuperSpeed+) provides 10 Gbps of bandwidth, 3.4 Gbps effective throughput and 900mA of power to the downstream device. USB 3.0 is designed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0. USB 3.0 adds a physical bus running in parallel with the existing 2.0 bus. ![]() USB 3.0 has speeds up to 4.8 Gbps, nearly 10 times that of USB 2.0. USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) (2008) provides vast improvements over USB 2.0. The port name will include "Enhanced," "Enhanced Host" or "Universal Host." USB 3.1 Gen 1 (also called USB 3.0) It increases the speed of the peripheral to PC connection from 12 Mbps to 480 Mbps, or 40 times faster than USB 1.1. This version is backward compatible with USB 1.1. In 2002, USB 2.0, (High-Speed) was introduced. USB specifications indicate the speed and function of the cable and is also known as the performance standard. Understanding the capabilities of each connector type and cable standard can help you decide which one is right for your application. Recent changes and advancements in USB technology mean you can choose from a greater range of USB options. Most of the devices in the market currently already support such features, though, and as the technology advances, so too will the capabilities of the devices that utilize it. Likewise, if the device does not support USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds up to 10 Gbps, connecting a USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable won't change that. If the device does not support transmission of audio/video over the USB-C port, connecting a USB-C to an HDMI adapter cable won't make it work. One major fact to point out, though, is that USB-C is reliant on the technology in the phone, tablet or computer it is on. It is important to understand the type of connectors and the speed standard of the cable itself when selecting a USB cable. ![]()
